An MPS file may also be a map used by Microsoft Pocket Streets, a mapping application primarily designed for Pocket PC devices in the early 2000s. It contains geographical data, such as streets, landmarks, and points of interest, for a specific area, such as a city or region, that users can view with the Pocket Streets application.
More Information
Pocket Streets allowed users to view detailed maps and navigate areas such as cities, states, and points of interest on their portable devices. Travelers, business professionals, and anyone needing offline maps for their mobile devices for navigation on the go commonly used the program.
NOTE: Pocket Streets was part of the Microsoft Streets & Trips suite, but as smartphones and modern mapping applications like Google Maps gained popularity, Microsoft eventually discontinued Pocket Streets in favor of more advanced, web-based navigation tools.
How to open an MPS file
You can open MPS files with Microsoft MapPoint in Windows. However, the software is discontinued.
